XSAN and TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager)

Hello,
I wanted to know if anybody had already used the TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) solution from IBM to backup an XSAN?
From what I have read on the IBM tech guide, the solution is fully compatible.
Best regards,
Cédric

Hello Cedric.
I have used IBM TSM 5.2 with XSAN for a whole year without problems.
Our Xsan environment have 15 mixed INTEL&PPC Workstation, 2 Intel MDC, OSX-OSXSERVER 10.4.9, XSAN 1.4.1
We have a 3584 LTO library with 2 frames, 4 drives LTO2 and 2 LTO3. But we use only LTO3 with TSM from MAC. Our IBM TSM Server is a PSeries 630.
Now we are looking for a MAM system that can manage a proxy version of our archive. Parcial restores features could be very helpful for us.

RMAN integrated with Tivoli Storage Manager

Environment
===========
Two Node RAC Production DBs on 10.2.0.4
Platform : Solaris
RMAN is the only backup tool i've ever worked with. I've come across OTN articles which discuss TSM along with RMAN. Is there any advantage at all in using TSM with RMAN ? Or, Is it just marketing gimmick by IBM?

Our strategy:
1--Monday ------------------->Level 0 backup (1:00am)
2--Tuesday----->     Level1
3--Wednesday----->     Level1
4--Thursday------------------>Level 0 backup (1:00am)
5--Friday----->     Level1
6--Saturday----->     Level1
0--Sunday ----->     Level1Our RMAN backup pieces got to an NFS mount . Every monday morning the Level 0 backup is copied to Tape by Sysadmins and kept for 3 months. So, where does Tivoli storage manager come into picture ? Does TSM do copying the backup pieces from Disk to Tape part ?

Oracle Suggested Backup, to tape only - Tivoli Storage Manager

I´ve been asked to cancel future backups to disk and to setup oracle´s suggested backup to the tape device only (which underwater is the tdpo from Tivoli´s storage manager).
This way the expensive disks can be freed from recovery data.
I´ve had my share of problems with the tdpo, but besides the problem of this gateway driver between RMAN and TSM I would like to know if this is best for the whole suggested backup strategy.
Somehow I´m not convinced in backing up to "tape" devices only; for it is slower than local disks, and because we had problems before with the driver, but there may be a lot more reasosn why I should or should not accept this desired goal to be best for our company.
I hope some of you can help me straighten my vision on this.
Robin

The biggest problems I think we might face are the
big question "who is responsible for what", and the
administration of non Oracle systems/methods to
perform backupsi have no problems with such a setup. i provide the rman skript which will be called by TSM.
the TSM admins notify me if the backup failed. retention on TSM side is disabled, only RMAN deletes obsolete/expired backups.
All I want to care about is performing a backup to
Disk, or Disk and Tape, or just Tape from within
Oracle/RMAN and read the ouput from here.
Now where these external tape labraries like TSM come
in there will be more administration for the total
handling of a backup job. It´s not only RMAN, but a
tdpo and a TSM server which need to be monitored
closely. of course TSM has to be monitored but if you already have invested an infrastructure you should use it for every type of backups.
Sadly Oracle has yet to come up with it´s secure
backup for TSM systems, but I think it would be best
if I could let Oracle solely in charge of its own
backups.if TSM retention is disabled, RMAN has absolute control.
Then again, I don´t know if anyone has good
experiences with TSM as the only backup provider for
Oracle backups. (so no disk backups)it works very good. use staged pools on TSM. primary pool should be diskpool, secondary a tapepool. you can configure TSM to move the data from disk to tape based on fill level or age.

EHPI and DB2 DMS storage management

Hi Guys,
I am having a trouble with Enhancement package installer while applying enchancement packs to ABAP instances in DB2 environment. I am using DMS storage managementmethod in DB2 for tablespace management. While applying the enhancement pack1 for netweaver the installation tool asks for creation of new tables and I create the required tables spaces as I needed. The tool fails with insufficent space in tablespaces. However the tablesspaces are setup to grow when required not like assigned free space in a tablespace.The file system has total 16GB available and it only needs about 3GB. Since it can't see some required freespace available with in the tablespace it can't proceed.
1) Did any one face this issue. IF so how to overcome this issue.
2) Is there anyway we can bypass this check and cotinue with installation. In some steps we can jump with a password but there is no such thing to this step.
Your early reply is highly appreciated.
Regards
Srini

EHPI tool itself check how much space you needed in a tablespace. You have to add that space in tablespace then only you can proceedd otherwise it will always show the error...
thank sunny

Xsan and Third Party Storage

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this -- but will Xsan work with third-party storage (i.e a non-Xserve RAID)? I'm pretty sure as long as it's a certified Fibre Channel device that all is good. I just wanted to get feedback from those who have tried it (and let me know what storage you're using).
THANKS!

[Solved] RAID 0 with Arch Linux and Intel Matrix Storage Manager

I just bought a brand new DELL Studio desktop and it has 2 500 HD's which I would like to run in RAID 0. I've setup the BIOS to run the RAID 0. Now I want the arch linux installation to recognise the volume. I followed the guide on the wikipage
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _Fake-RAID
but /dev/mapper doesn't show anything after modprobing the modules and installing dmraid. My controller is a intel matrix storage controller, so what module should I modprobe because sata_sil isn't the right one.

André

you have a separate /boot partition, so your menu.lst must say :
root (hd0,0) # the partition including /boot
kernel /vmlinuz26 ... # without leading /boot
initrd /kernel26.img # without leading /boot
(in grub, / is the root of the partition that was set with the root command, your vmlinuz26 and kernel26.img are in (hd0,0)/, not in (hd0,0)/boot/)
did you install from core CD or from FTP ?
there was a dmraid update few weeks ago that modified device names that dmraid creates :
it add "p" before the number of the partition (your iws...Volume0 don't change, but your iws...Volume0# change to iws...Volume0p#)
if you installed from core CD, you will only need to add this "p" when you will upgrade dmraid (or the full system)
(you will then need to edit both /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab)
if you installed from FTP, you need to add this "p" now, as you installed last version of dmraid

Cisco CPI 2.0 and TSM support.

Hi, Is it possible to install TSM(Tivoli storage manager) on CPI 2.0 ?
We would like to use it as a backup.

It may be possible but would not be supported. You can backup the overall VM from your VMWare environment if you're running the soft appliance.
You can backup the application settings using the built-in PI backup settings and specify a remote FTP repository.

Tivoli server manager is going to be changed for backp and restore

Hi
All,
I have oracle database 10g 10.2.0.3 installed on AIX 5.3 server. I am taking bakup and restore in TAPE using RMAN. I have IBM Tivoli Server Manager as a media Management Software. All resources are locatesd at inhouse right now. the only thing that gonna be change is IBM tivoli server manager and TAPE. we will have NEW Tivoli server manager and TAP at different location. Now I have backup and restore script available and TSM client installed on database server.
I have reviewed backup and restore script but I don't know what kind of change I have to do.
So the main question is
Due to Tivoli server and Tape gonna be change
what kind of changes I have to do ?
where should I implement the change?
where can I find the useful information regarding configuration parameter for this kind of setup?
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishal

I don't know what version of TSM you are using, but you can check Backing Up Oracle Using Tivoli Storage Management and also check Configuring RMAN to Make Backups to a Media Manager.

P55-CD53, how to install SATA AHCI drivers and Matrix Storage Manager?

Please excuse my noobness as this is for my first PC build and much of it is Greek to me, but could someone please inform/educate me as to what the following drivers (link) are for and which need to be installed after a fresh installation of Windows 7 Pro x64? Do I need to install all of them because some of these appear to be redundant, just from different manufacturers, or am I mistaken? I have a single 500GB HDD but will probably add more down the road.

After booting from the Windows 7 disc, I selected Repair Windows, Load Drivers. Which specific controllers do I need to install for the P55-CD53 MB since there are multiple controllers listed for each of the four SATA compressed files?
Considering the multiple files and multiple controllers, is there no one out there with a P55-CD53 that has AHCI mode enabled that can give dumbed down instructions on how to do so?
The manual states "Select the appropriate RAID controller and press enter." Well... which one is the appropriate controller? Am I suppose to load the driver for all the AHCI controllers if that's even possible?
For the Intel P55 AHCI / RAID Drivers compressed file, these are the controllers available within F6flpy64\iaAHCI.inf:
Intel(R) ESB2 SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH 10D/DO SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH10R SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH7M/MDH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH7R/DH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH8R/DH/DO SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH9R/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) PCH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 4 Port
Intel(R) PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 6 Port
Also, regarding the dual BIOS controls for SATA/IDE/RAID settings previously mentioned, I believe SATA ports 1-6 are controlled via Intel and 7,8 are controlled via Jmicron. Considering my HDD is currently plugged into SATA 1, Jmicron probably isn't necessary for the moment.
Edit:
Turns out that none of the drivers for the controllers listed in iaAHCI.inf could be installed. However, I went ahead and installed the drivers listed for all the controllers in iaStor.inf. I reinstalled Windows 7 to get rid of the BSOD. I then installed the chipset drivers and Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

Backups/Archivelogs triggered via DB13 hitting errors at TSM(Tivoli) level.

We are encountering problem with our redolog/online backups that are triggered
via DB13 whereby we will
receive this error message in the logs before a failure message:
BKI5014E: Tivoli Storage Manager Error:
ANS1087E (RC106) Access to the specified file or directory is denied
We have checked with the OS side and it seems that the permissions for
all the accesses are fine. However, when we tried to manually enter the
BRARCHIVE/BRBACKUP command in the OS (AIX) the thing seems to work fine. Although we can trigger it manually in the OS, but we cannot track it through
DB13, or even schedule it, as it will continue to hit the said access error.
Thanks.

Dear Kelvin,
Please reply whether you were able to solve the issue of scheduling a backup from DB13 in SAP?
We are also facing the same issue, we are able to take the backup from BRTOOLS in TSM.
We tried changing the permissions of BRTOOLS utilities from /sapmnt/SID/exe path. Even then the backup fails with the same message, please find below the logs.

Oracle's 10gR2 Automated Storage Management implementation on CentOS 4.1

Actually there are several nice articles on Oracle Technical Network
devoted to the same topic. Whats new may be said ?
The target of message is to highlight the optimal sequence of steps
required to bring Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) ASM-database up on CentOS4.1 , placing ASM instance and serviced databases in different Oracle Homes.
Oracleasm library install is done immediately after creating "oracle"
linux account and "dba" group to be ready for ASM Instance creating during
the first Installer run supposed to build it. ASM instance for disks and disks
group management is created the first by Installer along with the disks group
for database supposed to be built during the second run of Installer and to be
placed into recently created disks group.
I. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and ASMLib 2.0 I/O.
1.Install CentOS 4.1
2.Run as root:
# groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
# groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
# useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
# mkdir -p /u02/oradata/wtfdata
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
OTN instruction:-
Before installing Automatic Storage Management, it is recommended that you install the optional add-on Automatic Storage Management support library, ASMLib. ASMLib is an application program interface (API) Oracle that is aimed at simplifying the interface between the operating system and the database, and to exploit the capabilities and strengths of storage arrays provided by different vendors.ASMLib provides an alternative interface for the Automatic Storage Management-enabled kernel to discover and access block devices. It provides storage and operating system vendors the opportunity to supply extended storage-related features. These features provide benefits such as improved performance and greater data integrity.
OTN instruction ends.
3.To install ASMLIB 2.0 run as root:-
# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.9-11.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
oracleasmlib-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm \
oracleasm-support-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Now you get /etc/init.d/oracleasm ready to go.
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver:-
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface [dba]: dba
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [ OK ]
Scanning system for ASM disks: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm enable
Create ASM disks as desired utilizing command:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VLM0X /dev/sdx
Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login, /etc/profile.
and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
OTN instructions:-
Its recommended that you install Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home, regardless of whether you plan to only have one or multiple database instances.Installing Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home helps ensure higher availability and manageability.
With separate Oracle homes, you can upgrade Automatic Storage Management and databases independently, and you can remove database software without impacting the Automatic Storage Management instance. Ensure that the Automatic Storage Management version is the same or later than the Oracle Database version.If an Automatic Storage Management installation does not already exist and you select the Oracle Universal Installer option to install and configure Automatic Storage Management only, then Oracle Universal Installer installs Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home.
OTN instruction ends.
Select " Advanced installation" and
create ASM instance in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
Create disk group during this run .
Exit installer.
$ ./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed into existing disk's group
in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_2 .
Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.
Next:-
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.

Open Enterpise Manager console.(Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control URL

using standard Linux I/O system calls.It requires to create RAW devices for all
disk partitions used by ASM.
1.Install CentOS 4.1
2.Run as root:
# groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
# groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
# useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
# mkdir -p /u02/oradata/data
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
Just as an example create 4 partitions:
/dev/hda6,/dev/hdc6 5 GB each one
/dev/hda7,/dev/hdc7 3 GB each one
Create raw devices modifying file /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices as follows:
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/hda6
/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/hdc6
/dev/raw/raw3 /dev/hda7
/dev/raw/raw4 /dev/hdc7
Put in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw*
chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw*
I was experiencing problems with loosing "oracle:dba" permissions after Linux
reboot. Oracle's raw device came up with "root:disk" ownership after reboot.
Restart Linux
Run as root:-
# service rawdevices restart
Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login,
/etc/profile and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and
create ASM instance in ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/asm
During this run create diskgroup RAWDATA1 with normal redundancy
mirroring /dev/raw/raw1 and /dev/raw/raw2.
You should be fine with discovering raw devices if permissions are in place (oracle:dba)
Exit installer.
Export ORACLE_HOME for ASM instance and corresponding PATH.
Then run "dbca" to create diskgroup RAWDATA2 with
normal redundancy mirroring /dev/raw/raw3 and /dev/raw/raw4
$ ./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed RAWDATA1 diskgroup
in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.
Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.
Next:-

PS where are you planning to install to with only 55MB available anyway?

Oracle 10gR2 Automated Storage Management implementation on CentOS 4.1

Actually there are several nice articles on Oracle Technical Network devoted to the same topic. Whats new may be said ?
The target of this message is to highlight the optimal sequence of steps required to bring Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) ASM-database up on CentOS4.1 , placing ASM instance and serviced databases in different Oracle Homes.Oracleasm library install is done immediately after creating "oracle" linux account and "dba" group to be ready for ASM Instance creating during the first Installer run supposed to build it. ASM instance for disks and disks group management is created the first by Installer along with the disks group for database supposed to be built during the second run of Installer and to be placed into recently created disks group.
I. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and ASMLib 2.0 I/O.
1.Install CentOS 4.1
2.Run as root:
# groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
# groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
# useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
# mkdir -p /u02/oradata/wtfdata
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
OTN instruction:-
Before installing Automatic Storage Management, it is recommended that you install the optional add-on Automatic Storage Management support library, ASMLib. ASMLib is an application program interface (API) Oracle that is aimed at simplifying the interface between the operating system and the database, and to exploit the capabilities and strengths of storage arrays provided by different vendors ASMLib provides an alternative interface for the Automatic Storage Management-enabled kernel to discover and access block devices. It provides storage and operating system vendors the opportunity to supply extended storage-related features. These features provide benefits such as improved performance and greater data integrity.
OTN instruction ends.
3.To install ASMLIB 2.0 run as root:-
# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.9-11.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
oracleasmlib-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm \
oracleasm-support-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Now you get /etc/init.d/oracleasm ready to go.
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver:-
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface [dba]: dba
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [ OK ]
Scanning system for ASM disks: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm enable
Create ASM disks as desired utilizing command:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VLM0X /dev/sdx
Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login, /etc/profile.
and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
OTN instructions:-
Its recommended that you install Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home, regardless of whether you plan to only have one or multiple database instances.Installing Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home helps ensure higher availability and manageability.With separate Oracle homes, you can upgrade Automatic Storage Management and databases independently, and you can remove database software without impacting the Automatic Storage Management instance. Ensure that the Automatic Storage Management version is the same or later than the Oracle Database version.If an Automatic Storage Management installation does not already exist and you select the Oracle Universal Installer option to install and configure Automatic Storage Management only, then Oracle Universal Installer installs Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home.
OTN instruction ends.
Select " Advanced installation" and
create ASM instance in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
Create disk group during this run .
Exit installer.
$ ./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed into existing disk's group in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_2 .
Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.
Next:-
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> shutdown immediate;

/dev/raw/raw3 /dev/hda7
/dev/raw/raw4 /dev/hdc7
Put in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw*
chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw*
I was experiencing problems with loosing "oracle:dba" permissions after Linux
reboot. Oracle's raw device came up with "root:disk" ownership after reboot.
Restart Linux
Run as root:-
# service rawdevices restart
Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login,
/etc/profile and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and
create ASM instance in ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/asm
During this run create diskgroup RAWDATA1 with normal redundancy
mirroring /dev/raw/raw1 and /dev/raw/raw2.
You should be fine with discovering raw devices if permissions are in place (oracle:dba)
Exit installer.
Export ORACLE_HOME for ASM instance and corresponding PATH.
Then run "dbca" to create diskgroup RAWDATA2 with
normal redundancy mirroring /dev/raw/raw3 and /dev/raw/raw4
$ ./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed RAWDATA1 diskgroup
in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.
Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.
Next:-
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.

Intel Matrix Storage Manager disables Windows Update and Windows Validation on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad R61 8918CTO on which I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) on a new Seagate Momentus XT 750GB drive. The installation was trouble-free, as were all of the post-install Windows Updates.
Then I installed ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and used it to install most of the available Lenovo updates. Big mistake. I'll spare you a detailed account of the hours I wasted troubleshooting, rolling back to previous restore points, and doing more troubleshooting, but it turns out that installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver v. 8.9.2.1002 caused Windows Update and Windows Validation to fail.
Symptoms: Windows Update control panel can't check for updates and reports that the Windows Update service isn't running when it actually is. Online Windows Validation fails and the standalone Windows Validation utility won't install. Microsoft programs that require a validated copy of Windows (e.g., Microsoft Security Essentials) won't install.
Solution: Roll back the driver for the relevant SATA controller to the previous driver.
I've reinstalled ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and hidden the proposed Intel Matrix Storage Manager update; since then, I've used it to complete my Lenovo updates without issue.
I hope this post will help other people with this problem find the solution a lot faster than it took me!

This happened after installing a new advanced format drive with 4k-byte sectors, I'd guess. If the storage driver doesn't report the physical sector size to Windows, update fails.
I just ran across this myself (again) putting Win 7 on a T400.
I don't know why this is still going on. It may be that the update lists for older machines still have pre-AF-drive drivers listed.
FYI, another fix is going to the Intel site and installing the latest Matrix Storage Manager AHCI driver. This may be more desirable than rolling back to an older driver in some cases.

Managing files and space in storage repositories

What options are available for moving virtual machine images and resources between storage repositories in OVM 2.2? The documentation does not seem to mention this at all.
As the root repository is nearly full, I have added a second repository. I expect there is little automation here so that I also need to manually move some disk images from the root repo to the new auxiliary repository.
Is there a special procedure I need to be aware of, or can I simply shut down a VM, move the folder and start the VM?
Can multiple disk images belonging to the same VM be distributed across multiple repositories, or must they all reside in the same folder?
Thanks,
Roy

1. Shutdown the VM
2. Unregister the VM from Oracle VM Manager (but DON'T delete the files)
3. Manually move the VM directory from one running_pool folder to another.
4. Discover the VM in Oracle VM Manager
5. Start the VM
Can multiple disk images belonging to the same VM be distributed across multiple repositories, or must they all reside in the same folder?Oracle VM Manager will only create disk images in the same folder as vm.cfg. Shared disks will be created in the repository that has the most amount of free space available. You can use this to your advantage by creating/discovering shared disks in any repository and attaching them to your guest. Just remember not to attach the same shared disk to multiple guests!
